A PCI hardware modem should have an interrupt in the range 9-11 by preference, especially since that IOPORT is in the normal PCI range. It looks to me like miniterm is coping OK with this, but I guess EPPD doesn't like it. If you have the modem somehow assigned to IRQ3 in the BIOS, then you must also disable COM2 in the BIOS. Do you by any chance have TWO modems in the box, the old one and the new one. Are you sure that it is the new modem that is doing the dialing, and not the old one... What else is in the machine? Which slot is the PCI modem in? What does the BIOS report as the interrupt usage for PCI cards? I can't imagine how you can get your modem on IRQ3. I have seen very few machines with a BIOS that allows you to assign that interrupt to a PCI slot. There is a DOS program that comes with the Actiontec modem that reports which IRQ/IOPORT the modem is on. It is PMDMCFG.EXE, and I can send you a copy later (tomorrow), or you can look for it on the installation disc (if you have one), or on the Actiontec web site. PS: add W2 to your init string so that the modem reports CONNECT speed rather than serial port speed. -- Gregor J Jones mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA
